Review | Gamesir X5 Lite Game Controller

April 20, 2025

Compatibility

Platform Support: Android (with button mapping) and iOS. and compatible with PC games through Moonlight and other platforms

Connection: USB (supports simultaneous charging and gameplay).

Audio: No headphone jack—game audio must play through speakers.

Buttons: Without back buttons, which may complicate custom mapping for certain games.

Features simple membrane buttons (non-mechanical). Audible clicks are present but not disruptive.

20 x 9 x 4.5 cm (Length x Width x Height)

The default spacers block USB connectivity for phones with cases.

Includes two thinner spacer pairs to fix this issue. No need to remove phone cases.

Gamesir's proprietary cooler (launching around March 31) will later support the X5 Lite.

Lightweight design ideal for casual gaming.

Native controller support allows quick access to daily tasks via the "←" button.

Compact size enables easy on-screen typing while gripping the controller.

Expected to work seamlessly (tested on Gamesir G8 Plus for iOS).

Native controller support ensures plug-and-play functionality.

No back buttons complicate skill mapping (e.g., summoner spells like Ignite/Heal).

Requires combo-key setups for macros—manageable for most players but challenging for beginners.
